Mikaela Shiffrin wins as Lindsey Vonn fails to finish last Cortina race

For several seasons, Mikaela Shiffrin has been replacing Lindsey Vonn as the top racer on the U.S. Ski Team — and the overall World Cup leader.

The succession might have been completed Sunday, when Shiffrin won a super-G in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, and Vonn announced it might have been her final race on the circuit after failing to finish.

“You can make what you want of it,” Shiffrin said. “Because I won it and it’s her last race, I don’t necessarily think there’s some incredible connection on that, but I do think that it must be incredibly emotional for her to be in her final season.
